how did his dad stake him if he won the entry on pokerstars? pretty tough to lose $150,000 if you ask me.he did win his entry on pokerstars but he wanted money to play with in vegas before the tourney to get some b&m experiance, now you know why his dad was so happy when he won
he didnt get the whole 2.5 mil, half went to taxes, that makes it $1.25 mil, half went to his dad who bought have of his stake, makes it $600,000, he paid off his morgage and bought 2 cars, total left $150,000 give or take
i really doubt that they are making their straights that often, you just remember it more when they do, it your getting it in with the best of it everytime your gonna have some bad beats, but in the long run that mean profit
youve probably never seen it work because the hand was folded and you didnt see that guy had missed his flush, people do it all the time, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt
i played stud live for the first time this weekend and it was alot of fun, i have a ton to learn but it is an interesting game, i think people are really intimidated by the game with so many cards out in play
as long as feel your play has not been effected by your losses you should continue playing, but if you are in a bad mood or anxious to try to get your money back you should probably hold off until you are in a better frame of mind
when i play live i just try to pay attention to the action each hand, it actually makes time go by faster and you learn alot about your oppenents, if its online, multiple tables is the way to go
